I) What custom Task fields are used for

 

Custom Task fields are set up by Workspace Managers and help users of Huddle filter their Tasks in Workspaces. Workspace tasks are stored in a shared space visible to everyone so the capability to filter down the tasks to find the ones that matter the most to you is very useful. 

Assign extra values to your Tasks to improve your filtering experience. You can choose any set of values to apply to your tasks, for example: project phases, locations, office functions and project titles. 

 

a) Set up custom Task fields.

b) Decide what you would like to be able to filter your tasks by. Here we have used two examples: Phase and Location.

 

c) Check the box next to In Use to activate this field on the Tasks tab. 

 

d) Enter your values into the second text box. These are the values that you will be able to assign to tasks. For the values to work correctly, they must all be entered one below the other as in the example.
